Hi, I'm Helen and I'm Sarah and you're listening to the Squiggly Careers podcast, a weekly podcast where we dive into the ins-outs, ups and downs of work and share some insights, some ideas and some tools to help give you a little bit more confidence and control over your career development. And this is one of our final episodes of the year, and we thought we would do a year in

review.

Well, we thought we'd help you do a year in the review.

And what we are going to do in this episode today is talk through some questions that

will be hopefully helpful prompts for you and your development, but we are also going to answer

them.

So whether you are a fan of the Squiggy Careers podcast, and thank you if you are, reviews are welcome, that would be a

lovely Christmas gift. But if you're a fan and you kind of want to know what's been

going on behind the scenes over the last 12 months, or whether you're brand new

and you just think, oh, this would be a good time to do a bit of a reflection, then

hopefully this will be a useful podcast for you. And two resources that we wanted to

mention before we get started. We've got a new HBR article out which talks about how to review your

year. So that's worth a read. Some of what we're going to talk about today is in there. But there's

some different ideas and some new ideas in there too. So I think they're quite complimentary and

they're distinctive and different enough

that they're both worth your time, I hope.

And Helen, let's give credit where credit is due,

has created a really useful, quick way

of reviewing your year and previewing next year

into a downloadable tool.

And also has done some really good different options

for you depending on whether you are more visual or whether you like to write things down
